Red Legs
I doubt that white descendants of indentured servants are the "poorest" inhabitants of a country with 90% Black inhabitants. Unsourced. --Revolución (talk) 23:46, 30 January 2006 (UTC) --Revolución (talk) 23:46, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * The source is from the Wikipedia article for Barbados: "The modern descendants of this original slave population are sometimes derisively referred to as Red Legs and are some of the poorest inhabitants of modern Barbados."
 * Keep. Barbados.org notes the existence of the red legs, as do many other sites.  CIA World Factbook notes there are approximately 10,000 white Barbados inhabitants, without characterizing them by income or wealth.  Article shouldn't be deleted on the grounds of this assertion; if the original poster's really tweaked, he can put a verifiability template on the page. Ikkyu2 04:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I am withdrawing nomination per changing of language "poorest" to "some of the poorest". --Revolución (talk)
